How do you think about partner versus build? Usage based billing on its own is a pretty complex topic as an example with multiple startups that have tried to do it right. It is pretty data intensive as usage frequency increases, as well. It seems like you may be trying to do too much here. Just one opinion but something to think through (build versus partner.)
- nussbaum9696 4y agoSpecifically for API, seems better to just partner, focus on building core product and getting users.I've seen tools out there to manage usage based billing and auth for APIs, archetype.dev is one. Seems like no brainer vs. trying to spend eng hours in house to figure out, thoughts ?
- kisheemon 4y agoI saw a pretty good article the other day about the some of the difficulties on the build side. Might be worth taking a look https://www.getoctane.io/blog/usage-based-billing-complexity https://www.getoctane.io/blog/usage-based-billing-complexity
